Minor Restorative Dental Work to Fix Cavities & Chipped Teeth

Do you have a cavity? If so, you may be a good candidate for dental fillings. This minor type of restorative dentistry is used to correct tooth decay and halt its progression before it becomes an even more serious problem. The good news is that this tooth decay remedy is straightforward and relatively quick to do. Our office uses only porcelain and composite resin for fillings because they are as durable as they are beautiful. Most patients can’t even tell they have a filling from looking at their own reflection in the mirror – gone are the days of strikingly obvious metal fillings.

The Steps of a Dental Filling Visit

Our office typically following the following steps to fix a cavity or chip in your tooth:

Numbing medicine to prevent pain
Tooth decay removal
Bonding agent applied
Material application is hardened with a light
Shaping, smoothing, and polishing of the new filling

What if I’m Not Eligible for a Dental Filling?

Some patients with very advanced tooth decay or severe tooth trauma are better suited to other types of restorative dentistry, such as a root canal or dental implant which is followed up with a dental crown. Rest assured, we will present you with all your dental treatment option and completely educate you on which treatment would best suit your needs.
